Thursday has nine games scheduled, including five in the 7:00-7:30 p.m. ET slot, two beginning at 8:00 p.m. ET and two starting at 10:00 p.m. ET. All game lines and odds used below come courtesy of the DraftKings Sportsbook.
SLATE PREVIEW
Dallas (vs. Anaheim), Carolina (vs. Minnesota), New Jersey (vs. Montreal) and Ottawa (at Boston) are the biggest favorites on the Moneyline. The Over/Under for the Flyers-Predators and Panthers-Kings matchups is 5.5 goals, and the rest of the games anticipate 6.5 goals being scored.
GOALIES
Dan Vladar, PHI at NSH ($7,500): Vladar has won five of his first eight starts with the Flyers while posting a 2.33 GAA and a .912 save percentage. He has surrendered four goals in each of his past two outings, but he is a solid bet to get back on track against the Predators on Thursday. Vladar made 32 saves in a 4-1 win over Nashville last Thursday.
Andrei Vasilevskiy, TBL at VGK ($7,400): Vasilevskiy made 30 saves in a 3-2 loss to Colorado on Tuesday, ending his three-game winning streak. Vegas isn't an easy opponent, but the 31-year-old netminder has a 2.49 GAA and a .911 save percentage on the road this season. He also made 18 stops in a 2-1 overtime win over the Golden Knights on Oct. 26.
Lukas Dostal, ANA at DAL ($6,900): Dostal has emerged victorious in six of 10 starts to begin the 2025-26 campaign. He has stopped 109 of the 117 shots he has faced during his four-game winning streak. Dallas is a challenging opponent, which gives Dostal plenty of bang for the buck potential for Thursday's slate if his recent success continues. He also went 1-0-1 versus the Stars last season while making 61 saves on 67 shots.
VALUE PLAYS/ONE-OFFS
Tim Stutzle, OTT at BOS ($6,700): Stutzle has generated four goals, five assists and 16 shots during his five-game point spree. He has two tallies and one helper with the man advantage during that span. Stutzle scored twice on five shots and added an assist in a 7-2 win over the Bruins on Oct. 27. He has seven goals and 15 points in 15 career contests against Boston.
Drake Batherson, OTT at BOS ($5,700): Batherson has compiled five goals, six helpers and 14 shots over a five-game point streak. He has two goals and two assists on the power play during that stretch. Batherson has five tallies, 17 points and 36 shots in 15 previous meetings with Boston, including two goals and one assist in one game this season. He offers considerable value on his own, and he can be stacked with Stutzle.
Nikolaj Ehlers, CAR vs. MIN ($5,500): Ehlers finally got his first goal of the season in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Rangers. He has accounted for five points and 16 shots on net in his past seven outings.
Trevor Zegras, PHI at NSH ($4,200): Zegras has amassed four goals on 20 shots and 10 points in his last six matches. He has three multipoint efforts and six power-play points (two goals, four assists) during that time. Zegras has supplied four goals and eight points in his past four appearances versus Nashville, including two tallies and one helper this campaign.
FORWARD LINE STACK
Sabres vs. Blues
Tage Thompson (C - $8,100), Alex Tuch (W - $6,000), Ryan McLeod (C - $3,200)
Thompson has produced four goals on 28 shots while contributing two assists in his last six outings. Tuch's three-game point streak ended in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime loss to Utah, but he has two tallies, five points, eight shots on target and four blocked shots in his past four appearances. McLeod hasn't reached the scoresheet in three straight contests following a four-game point streak (one goal, four assists), but his promotion to the top line is a great opportunity for him to get back on track.
Buffalo's top line has plenty of offensive upside, and the trio checks in with good price tags across the board. St. Louis is in the second half of a road back-to-back after visiting Washington in a 6-1 loss on Wednesday. The Blues have also allowed a league-leading 4.14 goals per game.
DEFENSEMEN
Jake Sanderson, OTT at BOS ($6,400): Sanderson had his four-game point spree snapped in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over Ottawa. He has registered two goals, four assists, 14 shots and 10 blocks in his last five contests. Sanderson had three helpers against Boston on Oct. 27.
Rasmus Dahlin, BUF vs. STL ($6,300): Dahlin hasn't picked up a point in his last two games, but he has one goal, three assists, 14 shots and 10 blocks in six appearances going into Thursday night's action. He also has two goals on 14 shots and two helpers in his past four meetings with the Blues.
Jacob Trouba, ANA at DAL ($4,600): Trouba has produced three goals, five assists, 14 shots and 14 blocks in his past seven appearances. He has one goal and two helpers during his three-game point streak. Trouba has six shots and five blocks over that stretch.
